Jiva Parthipan is an artist whose work revolves around questions of power and established boundaries. Added to this given context, he uses different means of expression-dance, video, text and games. On Clandestino Talks, he will be presenting one of his works: Necessary Journeys - a performance about the privilege of travel. He will then tell us about the ideas behind some of his earlier work as FIST!, Al Qaeda State Ballet (Clandestino #2/2004), [man(DOG, MONKEY, GOD)], Waiting and PakiBoy.

His work has been presented at The Tate Modern, ICA - Institute of Contemporary Arts, Sadllers Wells, Royal Opera House and Green Room, Manchester.
